About this Cook
I'm an administrative assistant in a neurologist's office. Married for 34 years and have a 25 yo daughter who is back at home. We have lived in Florida for nearly 30 years. My husband works for a national wholesale foodservice company so it is fun to have him in the kitchen with me.
My favorite things to cook
I'm pretty adventurous...can't say that I have one favorite thing. Nothing like comfort food....a good roast or meatloaf. Not heavily into BBQ or Chinese!
My favorite family cooking traditions
My father was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, so I try to keep those Scandinavian traditions alive. Red cabbage, frikadilla, pork roast. Danish cookies (kleiner)
My cooking triumphs
Our annual Christmas party for about 40 people when we cook all the food (appetizers, salads, meat, cookies, desserts) ourselves. Not to mention favors, drinks etc.
My cooking tragedies
hmmm.....they must be WAaaaY back in my memory bank.

Buttermilk Scones
Turned out more like a biscuit in my estimation. I added some dried cranberries and orange zest but they were very fluffy (probably due to two TBSP of baking powder). I think a scone is denser than what this turned out to be. Probably won't make these again.

Creamy Broccoli Soup
For as simple as this is, it is suprisingly good. Only change I made was to use fat free half and half instead of milk. Didn't use the oregano, just salt and pepper.

Boardwalk Quality Maple Walnut Fudge
This just didn't have the maple flavor I was anticipating. I used Mapleine brand maple flavoring which is the extract I use to make my pancake syrup. Even added more. I was a little disappointed. It was very simple and creamy; I can see where I would use this with other flavors of chips and get a good outcome.
